NESTING DEVICE.

T 0 all whom t may concern.' K

Be it lznown that 1, Isar/ic lsnAnL, a citi- Zen ot the United States, residing at New York cit-y, in the county ot New Yorlr, borough ot Manhattan, and citate ot New York, have invented new and usetul .lmprovements in Nesting` Devices, oit which the followingis a full, clear, and exact specication.

Myinvention relates to devices suitable for the piling, or nesting. ot articles and receptables and refers particularly to devices suitable for the nesting of ice-cream cones.

Experience has shown that on account et the shape and fragile nature ot ice-cream cones, the most advantageous method oit preparing them for transportation is to nest them within each other andthen place these nested cones within a protective container.

Considerable difficulty is experienced in the manual nesting' of cones. iis the cones are very hot when made, there is the diliiculty incident to such nesting' by hand. lit' the cones are nested when too hot, they are liable to adhere to each other. rlhe labor item is a large one. rlhere is the danger el' breakage incident to manual handling' of such a fragile product. rl`here are the unl yfiienic conditions incident to handlingl 'Food products. lin ad dition, there is the requirement of constant attention and supervision.

lilly invention overcomes all o'i these diiliculties and presents a device whereby icecream cones can be effectively, hygienically and safely nested with a minimum oit expense and time without the dangers of breakage or adherence.

My device is particularly suitable tor engagement with those cone-making machines which produce and deliver cones o'l uniform size at regular intervals ot time, as it can be so attached thereto that 'the cone-making; mechanism will operate my nesting); `device as to cause the two to have synchronimal movements, thiis nesting the cones `with the same regularity as that in which they are produced.

iis the cone-making; devicf-"f1 are no part ot my present invention, they are not included nor described herein.

rlhe device of my invention comprises a revoluble table carrying` a. plurality ot hollow receivers the shape and size ot the ice-cream cones to be nested, the table being intermittently revolved. so that at the period of its rest, one of the receivers will be situated below a delivering member of a cone- Speccaton of Letters Patent.

making machine, said period of rest being coincident with the deposition of a cone within the receiver. rlhe revolution ot' the table causes it to have a downwardly vertical movement so as to lower it suiiiciently the required number of; cones have been nested, when they are removed and placed within the transport protective container.

It is to be noted that during this operation, each cone is allowed to partially cool before the insertion oi the next cone therein,

thus overcoming the tendency to adhere and that the operation is entirely automatic requiring no operative attention.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating; one form of the device ot my invention, similar parts are designated by similar numerals Figure l is a top plan view oi one 'form of my device. Y

rlhe particular :Form of the device of my i uvcution, shown in the accoinpanyinev drawings, comprises a revoluble threaded shaft 10, to which is fixedy attached an annular table, or member, 1l, having a plurality of openings, through which are passed a plurality of downwardly disposed hollow conical cone receivers 12. 12, 1Q., which are tixedly attached to the plate v11', capable of lmember 16.

'means of the yswivel locking member 18 pivoted to the sleeve 14e at 19 and capable-ot abutment upon the extended arm 2O of the l The member 16 is interiorally threaded to mesh with the thread upon the l shaft 10.` 'The upper portion ot Vthe sleeve 14;V carries av iiXedly attached .annular `,toothed sprocket 21, which, in turn, carries `the annular p-late22 having/la seriesot eX- tended pins' 23,v 23. A pin 24, threaded. through .a .portion vet the plate 22, extends Ainto theverticalslot 25' of the shalt 10,l

thus, allowing,` the plate 22 'toievolve with the shaft 10 and to'be capable of vertical .movement along' lthe sha'lt. ,A pawl 25,

carried bythe iiieinber22,.is maintained inr the threaded member 1-6,the shaft 10 will have yan upwardly, vor 'downwardly Vvertical movement corresponding ito its; direction of rotation. When the shaft 10 has `reachedits lowest ldesired position, the [member 1G is rce with it and locked in position, rthus `the rshaft :and allowing the ,further 'i (movement, will `pass over the pini zpawl'26 and 'thespreclret 21, preventa re- -tiirnimoveinent ottheplate22.

A revoluble shatt 30 carries the annular plate 31, having an extended pinf'32. Pivotally attached at 33, to the support 31,is an arm 35, with alieadimeinber 36,' so situated that the revolution ot the plate `31 will cause the pin 32ito abut uponthe head 36 of the arm 35, causing' the. arm-vte move from the position 35 ito35. f

Pivotally attac-hed at 37,r to the-supporting member 38, is an arm 39,1one end portion otwliicli,/10, abuts upon the arm 35 and is held inabutment therewith by means -ot the spring 11. y Pivotally attached at -l2 et the other end oitthe arm 3f), is a=meinher a3, the end 441 of which is abiitableupon the arm 39, and fis held viii-athis 'position normally by the spring 15. .'lllie.arinr39 is so r*situated that -wheirit is moved upon fthe `pivotf'37, thel arm .43 willfabut iupon one of the `pins 23 ot the vplate 22 and revolve thev plate, fthe arm 39 being capable-'et return .mcvement as the arm ifi-.3,-diie to thev oial The .Situated abovetheftable 11, and theplate "111", .Yi-s fa' cone chute, 46 terminating 1in the head 36 ot the arm 35 at every revolution, giving thearm a pivotal movement. This .nio vement et the .arm 35 gives the arm 39 a pivotal n'ievement, causing the `member 13, et the armv 39, to ahntuponapin 23, ofthe plate 22, causing the latter to revolve. As

`the pin 32' passes beyond engagement with the head 3.6 ot the arm 35 the sprii'ig 1:1 will act Ato bringthe ,arms and 39 to `their original position, .the -arm passing over the pins 23,23 `and the pawl 2G lretainime' the plate 22 'from .a lreturn movement. its the pins 23, 23 `correspond with the conical cone-liolders 12, 12, `the revolution .of the shalt 3() revolves the table 11r and tliegplate `11 intermittently, and the delivering et cones is so timed that, one is released rom `the chute d6, each time a cone holder is at rest beneath fit, so ,that afcone is placed in a cone holder, the table revolved the distance et one cone holder `and a cono deposited therein, and this operation fis continued and, as the 7table 11 fhas a gradual downwardly .movement during; ,its revolution. a pluralityT ot cones may be deposited become Patent No. 1,376,711 `granted May-3,
